Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

skills CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Purpose

This repository contains skills for TasteRay's psychological profiling capabilities. Skills encode research-backed techniques for understanding users through natural conversation.

Repository Structure

/
├── .gitignore
├── CLAUDE.md          # This file
├── LICENSE            # MIT License
├── README.md          # Skill catalog and installation

        └── *.md

Skill File Format

Each skill has a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter:

---
name: skill-name
description: 'Multi-line description of when to use this skill.
  Include specific use cases and trigger phrases.'
---

The body contains:

  • Core principles and philosophy
  • Research foundations with citations
  • Specific techniques with examples
  • Anti-patterns (what NOT to do)
  • References section linking to detailed reference files

Adding New Skills

  1. Create a directory with the skill name (lowercase, hyphenated)
  2. Add SKILL.md with proper YAML frontmatter
  3. Add reference files in references/ subdirectory
  4. Update README.md with the new skill
  5. Commit directly to main

Installation

Skills are installed via the skills.sh installer:

npx skills add tasteray/skills/<skill-name>

Or install all skills:

npx skills add tasteray/skills

Conventions

  • Use academic citations where possible
  • Include specific conversational examples
  • Document anti-patterns explicitly
  • Keep reference files focused on single topics
  • Cross-reference between related techniques

Session concierge — resource fit-check

Proposing the right session setup is Claude's job, not the user's. When the first real task of a session arrives, check — BEFORE starting work — whether the session has what the task needs:

  1. Infer what the task touches using the resource map below.
  2. Compare with what is actually available: cloned repos, MCP servers (probe via tool search — availability varies per user and environment), skills.
  3. If something relevant is missing, open the reply with a short section "Setup for this task" / "Zestaw na to zadanie" (match the user's language): what's missing, why it matters (one phrase each), and the exact next step written for a non-technical reader. Do it yourself when possible (add_repo tool if present, MCP authorization links); ask the user only for what genuinely requires them. Start any work that can safely proceed in parallel.
  4. If nothing is missing, don't mention resources at all — just do the task.
  5. Never guess the other side of a cross-repo contract: if the task touches a contract whose other repo is not connected, treat that repo as missing.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
